What else do investors need to know?
Magellan’s FY26 result reflects lower investment management revenue, but this was partially offset by a sharp rise in partnership income â particularly from Barrenjoey Capital Partners. That partnership contributed $42 million to MFG’s operating result.
The merger with Barrenjoey, effective from 1 July 2026, has created a more diversified financial services group. The company said its revenue is now spread across Financial Markets, Corporate Finance and Investment Management.
AUM declined by 7% over the year, mainly due to continued outflows from heritage Global Equities funds. However, the Group saw institutional inflows into Australian equities and global listed infrastructure strategies, along with progress in systematic strategies.
What did Magellan Financial Group management say?
Mr Benari, Group CEO, commented:
2026 was a transformational year for MFG. The merger between MFG and Barrenjoey marks the beginning of a new chapter for our company, and today’s results are the first time we have reported the pro forma performance of a stronger and more diversified Australian financial services group, spanning Financial Markets, Corporate Finance and Investment Management.
The combined group delivered pro forma revenue of $778 million for the year and maintains a balance sheet with meaningful headroom for growth. As previously announced and subject to shareholder approval, we intend to change the company’s name to Barrenjoey Group Limited and change our ASX ticker to BJY. The new name reflects the scale and ambition of all of our business lines.
We are focused on reaching more clients and delivering more products, and our recently announced New Zealand expansion is an example of this.
What’s next for Magellan Financial Group?
Looking ahead, Magellan plans to rebrand as Barrenjoey Group Limited, pending shareholder approval at its upcoming AGM. The company also intends to update its ASX ticker to “BJY” to reflect this new identity.
Management say they will focus on deepening their business across all three core lines and reaching more clients, including expanding into New Zealand. The board has also changed its main office address, effective from September 2026, to Quay Quarter Tower in Sydney.
